How our harvest grows

  1. 01

    The tree

    Italian-variety saplings were planted in 2012 and are grown to European agronomy standards.

  2. 02

    Blossom

    In spring the orchard bursts into blossom. Drip irrigation gives every tree exactly the water it needs.

  3. 03

    Ripening

    The young fruit fills with juice and colour under the Sughd valley sun.

  4. 04

    Harvest

    Season: June–July. The fruit ships under the JIKO brand at home and abroad.
